Actually, I feel a bit dirty about this. Literal decades of file sharing built huge archives that they have used to build their monsters, and also contributing to things like Wikipedia and open source software. Everything good and counterculture we did is now being monetized and used to boil the oceans.

Yeah… So all of these years of pirating movies, tv shows, and music was for a machine learning algorithm

Information should be free. Don’t feel bad because someone abused something good towards a bad end.
The problem here isn’t archives, it’s AI and the people behind it.

Maybe it works as an excuse when you claim you just wanted to train your own AI model with all those priated books and videos. But who am I kidding. The reality is that copyright violation, as well as quite a few other things, is only a crime if you’re poor.
